THE NEW YORKER 49 SPaR. T S OF THE WEEK S EVERAL of the best players of the indoor galloping game were in action in the Squadron A arena the other night when the snow swirled around the big armory at Ninety-fourth Street and Madison Avenue. Despite that snow there was a representative crowd on hand, the sort of crowd that cheers for indi- vidual favorites. Two of these in- dividual stars, Dr. Blackwell and Arch Kinney, played on opposing sides while a pretty exhibition of team work was turned in by the purple- shirted trio from the Brooklyn Rid- ing and Driving Club. The Yale Freshmen, in the course of taking a beating at the hands of one of the Squadron's teams, Class C, showed Polo, Hockey and Squash that they were Freshmen in polo as well as in their other studies. How- ever, there was promIse here and there ÐËAOLoef.-({; D - \. .. c)OJlAN ßUL,- (' No.2, and Ko rner at back.

Latetr in the game Klausner dropped back to No. 2 and the sol- diers combined much better. But on the night's play it would have taken a team of the very first class to shut down the Brooklyn scoring. Better mounts I have never seen in action in- doors in a pre-championship engage- ment. Young Bancroft, the former Princeton star, who plays now with the New York cavalrymen, has recent- ly purchased three excellent mounts. ...J\lways a smart and hard hitter, Ban- croft has not yet quite hit his stride. Doubtless a little more fire will de- veÌop in his play by the time the oppo- sition gets up around his own class. The honors for really brilliant polo went to the Brooklynites, who had in the team. Newhall and McNeille, I thought, had a future at New Haven. Goodspeed, who later went in, was still in a very elementary stage. The closing match between the em- purpled Brooklynites and the Squad- ron's B team, a Class A engagement, worked up, to a high pitch of speed. The lócal caval.rymen started poorly. They set out with four goals by hand- icap, but the horsemen from across the bridge wiped that out in a single chukker. At this time Bill Klausner was at No.1 for the soldiers, Brady at 1}.\t: BRCDf{LYN\TS,.f I-JOWI c1 A! \j f.;(... <.. )"\ - '\" . --,c ;; ..,
